The Trump administration has canceled a Biden-era agreement requiring the state of Alabama to clean up raw sewage in poor, Black, rural communities where filthy toilet water has been flowing directly into the yards of homes where children play.

Why is he still not back? Court orders, judges, law officials and congress should be pounding the desk until he is returned. Arrest all of them until then. It’s disgusting how everyone seems to be dragging their feet while an innocent man is locked up for no damn reason.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia needs to be brought home NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

This is a valid observation!

I'm in the Bronx NY. This historian who has also taught political science, particularly Amer Pol, can say the focus should be ON THOSE AIDING & ABETTING the WH - the MAJORITY PARTY IN CONGRESS.

It’s as if China had all this shit saved in drafts. They been waiting on this.

That 42% probably don't know what tariffs are or how to spell tariffs properly.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

NEW from Abrego Garcia's attorneys: "The Government continues to delay, obfuscate, and flout court orders, while a man’s life and safety is at risk. Its request for an extension ... is another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

77 million Americans voted for this monstrosity. I will never get over it.

Trump is about to get another physical that says he's 6'4", 180lbs, and has a 10" cock. Daring us once again to disbelieve our lying eyes. The first time that happened should've been the end. We let him skate on the little lies. We let him skate on trivial, but simple transparency. It escalated.

Flag code violation: Man uses American flag as a drape covering for Trump art, then wads it up in front of Trump who doesn’t seem to mind. Later, the man places the wadded up American flag in a chair behind him.

Apparently, a judge says Mahmoud Khalil CAN, in fact, be deported, but not immediately. His lawyers have until the 23rd to request a stay of his deportation if they believe he qualifies for one. www.npr.org/2025/04/11/n...

Another troubling sign of the timidity of people, organizations, and whole fields who seem unwilling/unable stand up for those attacked by this regime. Chris Krebs was celebrated for, as a member of the first Trump administration, standing up and calling out his election lies.

Another court defeat for Trump White House Judge rejects request for pause on order restoring access to Associated Press Judge: "Constitutional protections would be worth little indeed if they wilt in the face of presidential incursion"

Freeze speech! newrepublic.com/post/193897/...

Alina Habba is the USA of NJ? 👀 Wow. This investigation is politically motivated. newrepublic.com/post/193903/...

BREAKING: SCOTUS says Trump admin must "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return. The Trump admin fought the order — over a man it sent to a prison in El Salvador in an "administrative error" — to the Supreme Court, losing at all three levels of federal courts. Tonight, at Law Dork —>

Lay off the sauce!

I am happy that Ksenia Karelina is home. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

SCOTUS orders the Trump administration to release Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia from custody in El Salvador "and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador." s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

There's video of when the helicopter crashed into the Hudson earlier today. I'm not sharing it here (since trauma porn is a thing), but early speculation is saying this crash was caused by mast bumping. See what that means here: www.msn.com/en-in/news/w...

Rep. Horsford is exactly right. What Trump's moves are doing can be classified as market manipulation. This was done in his first term too. news3lv.com/news/local/h...

May all of their souls rest in peace. 🙏 ❤️ 🙏

All 4 Dems are conservative Dems. Add their names to the Jellyfish Caucus, if you've not already done so.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Alderwoman Cara Spencer is Mayor-elect of St. Louis, defeating incumbent Tishaura Jones in a landslide Tuesday to be the third consecutive woman to be Mayor of the city. How did she win it? See here: www.stlmag.com/news/won-car...

What a putz.

Wave, who died* God bless those who fought for and died in the defense of our Union. They gave their lives so that this nation would not perish from this Earth. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

😄 🤣 😂

On top of the blatant privacy law violations, this is another indication that the deficit—the supposed reason for all the draconian cuts—is going to explode because the agency charged with tax enforcement is in shambles and led by incompetents on partisan missions.

Serious question: Assuming I’m owed a refund this year, should it take it or apply it to next years taxes, seeing how there may not be an IRS next year?

He has never acted rationally. But rational people kept constructing rational edifices to explain his behavior.

An organization “financed by…Charles Koch is representing a Florida company that is suing…Trump for imposing tariffs on all imports from China, describing Trump's move as an unlawful power grab.” The organization is also “affiliated with … Leonard Leo's network…” 1/ 4/8/25

What a horrible tragedy that has happened in the Dominican Republic. Rest in peace to the victims, and may their families be comforted and consoled at this time. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/1...

I'm in California. We've had one in the last 15 years.

I have a confession to make - I first moved to Vancouver from Ottawa in 2007, which has the 417 running through its downtown core. At the time, I could not understand why Vancouver did not have a highway to get to its downtown centre, but now I must concede that it is better urban design:

Leader Jeffries just challenged Mike Johnson to a debate on the floor!!! EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED! CALL THESE FRAUDS OUT!

you can't spell "tariffs" without "FFS"

Bad day to have China as your largest business partner.

Carney is an imperfect human with an impressive economics CV. I believe his intentions are sincere and he loves Canada. Poilievre is an unoriginal Harper creation that will sell Canada for parts. The purity political pundits can pound sand.

Everything seems crazy right now but spending time with friends is important. Today we brunched and then went to Costco.
